Got a 89' 1.9 Watercooled... Lovely bus! Missus is complaining that the steering is too stiff! Thinking about fitting power steering to the camper... Can this be done? If so, which power steering rack is suitable? Cheers

How much money is a better question there not cheap for a RHD system very expansive weetabix for breakfast is cheeper!!

yes it can...

but while you save up for it

check your tyre pressurs are correct and have the geometry checked.

yes it can be done im just doing mine what you got LHD OR RHD the thing is if its a RHD is get a rack as the not chep then u got all the other bit to think of so u looking for a full set up about anywere form £600 to £800 but LHD much cheper

Fit a steering knob (similar to a forklift). Thats what I have on mine and I'll be honest I steer entirely with that now - makes it a breeze to nip in and out of traffic and corners are a doddle. Few pounds at most.

about anywere form £600 to £800 but LHD much cheper

LHD is not much cheaper.

IIRC Knob on the wheel is illegal..... and how can one hand be better than 2 using the "push pull" method...

As said check tyre pressures... also good quality tyres will make a difference..

This is a very popular update and the ebay prices reflect that.

You are looking at about 600 euro for the major items if you can find them all.
